I have 2 "old" Hauppauge WInTV quadHD PCI express that are working great. (bought about a year ago)
However, I bought 2 more of seemingly very same (cannot tell the difference), however, found only 2 adapters on both cards. I tried with Debian 12 and actually, for some reason, managed one system + one of the cards to find 3 tuners after a while (I don't think if I changed something) but the other one has found only 2 so far.
When I replace the identical looking "old" adapter with a new one in the same working system, only 2 are found. Changing back to the "old" adapters, all 4 are found again. So there seems to be some kind of difference between "old" and "new" cards, but what is it?
I have used multiple kernel versions, for example shipped with Debian 12, like 6.1.0-26-amd64, also 6.1.0-25-amd64 with TBS drivers (currently running and finds 3 adapters of "1st new" quadHD card. As Hauppauge officially supports only Ubuntu, I installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 in another machine ("2nd new" quadHD card) but it only found 2, even after following the instructions to fetch mediatree via ppa.
Then I even installed Windows and it was able to find all 4 tuners. At least I was able (after fighting hard with the buggy WinTV application that was mostly just crashing) save 4 channels at the time all from different multiplexes at different frequencies successfully, so the adapter hardware seems to be ok...
I also downloaded the latest kernel from kernel.org (linux-6.11.5.tar.xz) and build it but only 2 adapters found. I added some debugging in it but have not so far figured out why it finds 4x si2168 but fails to find 2x si2157:
grep si /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/name

I took the latest official kernel and added some debugging there in the driver (this is from Debian 12 side but the same hardware):

And all this happens before any firmware gets loaded (I think?) so this cannot be a firmware issue, right? As those firmware loading messages only appear after actually starting to use the adapter device.
Anyone else having similar issues? Anything I could try or fix?
